CVE-2023-45011Network attack vector

Cross-site request forgery via unprotected requests

Published Oct 12, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Cross-Site Request Forgery in WP Power Stats 2.2.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to perform unwanted plugin actions via crafted web requests. The public record identifies a CSRF condition but does not disclose the affected endpoint or the specific request operation lacking anti-CSRF validation. Exploitation requires a victim to load attacker-controlled content in a browser context where the request is accepted; documented impact is unauthorized state-changing actions, with no evidence of data disclosure or service interruption.
